1chota Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 What is the opinion of you folks on ports? I have noticed that most are horizontal. It would seem that a vertical port of sufficient dimensions would accomodate the great variance in stature amongst competitors. Thoughts?

Dan Sierpina Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Wynn, I've held that belief for a long time. You never see a port that has a cement block in front of it for the shorter folks, but, man the tall guys get hosed repeatedly, and I'm not as tall as Chuck. (When I saw you were the original poster, I was wondering if you were going to have port and cigars at the cabin after the shooting is done for the day. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFlowers Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The ports in my walls for the 2013 SC State went from just above 2" to 6". I tried to build them to allow the variance of competitors. Some people are just too tall to build walls that will accommodate them! But I did want ports low enough to handle any juniors who came through.

Even a 6" port is pretty low It's Stonehenge all over again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlot and chocolate go together. Well, chocolate goes with just about anything, including bacon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not familiar with the individuals but If they were able to conquor a six inch port, I am impressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Both are TALL shooters in the SC/NC area to whom a 6 ft high wall in a stage is just a prop to be looked over. Inch. DUH, its been a long day (SC Sectional, Shoot Fri - RO Sat - Clean up this morning in a cold rain). The ports went from just over the 2 FOOT mark to the 6 FOOT mark!
